Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Paramount

With 6 years under 4 separate teams across Viacom, sadly I saw these across the whole org: - Constant re-orgs, layoffs, and people trying to escape. I had 6 different bosses and 15 bosses bosses. My last team was a complete turnstile of escapees at all levels - Rampant sexism / biases. Two SVPs that I worked with would only hire women and gay men (one even randomly and openly told me while drunk at the holiday party). Another team would only hire Jewish people and told an Arab contractor to leave the country. One SVP told her direct report that she wasn't wearing enough makeup to be promoted - Runs on politics. Many teams won't work with each other. Bob's helping, but not enough - Promoting the wrong people. Professionalism and working towards a common goal is useless. What matters most is sucking up to your boss/their boss. One co-worker started as a Director, wouldn't respond to e-mails/meetings/calls to anyone other than his boss or above, and is now an SVP who still follows this strategy - In 2016/17, levels seemed to be devalued. You'll get 26 year old VPs that aren't professional or making the right decisions, and 30 year old Managers that are go-to's yet stuck per politics - Digital is still not the focus of the company. Leadership across divisions came from the linear business. When layoffs occur, it's mostly on the digital side. You can present an idea that will double revenue or viewership in Digital, and leadership won't care because it's basically doubling nothing to them - Viacom is increasingly relying on a Project-Based-Employee workforce. As most of these jobs are actually not project-based, they are illegal. This is bound to catch up with the company just as their unpaid intern program did
